OVERVIEW:Bascule Bridges: Taking Advantage of the Patullo Bridge Replacement Project, we propose to leverage the economies and river positioning of the Twin Cities, with a redesign of the combined waterfront.

We propose to completely redesign the Fraser River crossings, using Bascule (Pivoting Lift) Bridges that carry crossing-appropriate road, rail, and LRT traffic combinations.Riverside Economic Zone converts city borders into hub for designed growth.

We split the traffic--now focused on the old Patullo Bridge crossing's inefficient approaches--into two efficient crossings:

Redirecting traffic increases project value if New Westminster's Front Street railway lands are leased, traded, or sold to the Crown. This is accomplished by offering Southern Railway of British Columbia a looping rail route, sending traffic through North Surrey’s industrial area away from the river, using the proposed rail, road and LRT bascule bridge combinations.
